1 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 cup coconut flour or you can use whole wheat or other flour of choice
1/8 cup ground flax seed
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cane sugar
1/4 cup unsalted organic butter softened
2 large eggs
3-4 bananas or 1 1/2 cups mashed
1/4 cup full fat yogurt feel free to sub for other yogurt if that's your preference
3 Tbsp good dark rum
1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
9 X 5 inch loaf pan

1.5 Tbsp lime juice
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons flaked coconut unsweetened or sweetened, depending on your sweetness preference

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Measure out dry ingredients, flour through salt into medium mixing bowl and combine with whisk
In a mixer bowl, pour sugar and softened butter, beat until well blended.
Add 1 egg at a time to mixer bowl and beat until well blended.
Then add mashed banana, yogurt, vanilla and rum to mixer and beat till smooth.
Add flour mixture to mixer bowl and blend until completely moist and no lumps.
Fold in sweetened coconut and combine.
Pour batter into 9 X 5 inch greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350 for 50-60 min. Check at 50 minutes. You want a toothpick at highest peak to come out clean.
(At my home at sea level it is perfect at 55 minutes. Remember to adjust at different elevations)
Cool on wire rack in pan 10 minutes.
Combine glaze in small bowl till smooth.
Drizzle glaze over warm bread after removing from pan.
